IVE 📈 iShares S&P 500 Value - Overview

The iShares S&P 500 Value ETF, listed on NYSE ARCA under the ticker IVE, is designed to track the performance of the large-capitalization value sector of the U.S. equity market. This sector is comprised of established companies with a history of stable earnings and a lower price-to-earnings ratio compared to their growth-oriented counterparts. By focusing on value stocks, the fund aims to provide investors with a portfolio that can potentially offer more stable returns over the long term, as these companies often have a strong financial foundation and a proven track record of weathering economic downturns.

In terms of its investment strategy, the fund generally allocates at least 80% of its assets to the component securities of its underlying index. This means that the majority of the fund's holdings will be in large-cap value stocks that are included in the S&P 500 Value Index. The remaining 20% of the fund's assets can be invested in a range of other instruments, including futures, options, and swap contracts, as well as cash and cash equivalents. This flexibility allows the fund managers to fine-tune the portfolio, manage risk, and potentially enhance returns through the use of derivatives and other strategies.

As a U.S.-domiciled exchange-traded fund (ETF), the iShares S&P 500 Value ETF is subject to the regulatory framework of the United States. The fund's ISIN, US4642874089, is a unique identifier that can be used to track and trade the fund's shares. With its large value ETF category classification, the fund is positioned to appeal to investors seeking exposure to the U.S. large-cap value market, which can provide a core holding for a diversified portfolio.
